#364 - Dan Lawson: From Physio to Performance Manager in Elite Rugby League
Q: How do you manage communication lines between coaches, medical staff, and performance staff to ensure everyone is on the same page?
Implement a mix of daily structure and fluid corridor conversations, with formal catch-ups and end-of-day reviews to adjust plans; ensure every drill and session has clear roles and that modifications are discussed in time to be implemented before field work.
#362 - Eliza Morrison Shares Tips for Women Working in High Performance Sport
Q: What is your advice for those looking to enter high performance sports?
Eliza advises to think outside the box regarding skills and life experiences beyond just formal education.

#bitesize - Danny Lum: The Isometric Training Rules Coaches Miss
Q: What would be an appropriate age range to start? Or is it more on maturity and ability?
It's more competency-based; young kids can start with bodyweight exercises and progress to heavier lifting as they learn proper techniques.
#bitesize - Danny Lum: The Isometric Training Rules Coaches Miss
Q: What would be some important things to consider when introducing it to a group of athletes that perhaps haven't got any background?
The adaptation to isometric training is similar to dynamic training, and it's important to do isometric contractions at varying depths and durations based on goals.
